[quote=Anonymous]I've posted here a couple of times bashing the process of not only DCU but many of the academies - really club soccer in general. What I have learned is this - my perspective is not that of others. Nor are my kids' and family needs. I have an academically-focused smaller player who has been scouted by DCU but was not offered. Honestly, had he been, we were unlikely to accept. I know that seems ridiculous to some, but you have to do what is best for your child. The skill level at DCUA is undoubtedly the best in the area. You can also say that there are aspects of the academy that lag far behind Philly Union and others. I'm sure they do something better than some academy out there. But, it's not the best fit for my kid. If you have a kid who lives and breathes soccer, is a good but not great student, and is athletic for his age - you'd be a fool not to accept a DCUA offer. Believe it or not - one size does not fit all in this process. Too many parent egos are involved. Do what's right for your kid and don't bash others for doing what's right for their own. [/quote]
